Earth Day a call for greater energy efficiency solutions

More than a billion people around the world are taking part in Earth Day celebrations this year, as the nearly 800,000 men and women employed by the U.S. chemistry industry continue to find ways to create a more sustainable future for our planet.

For example, products of chemistry empower Americans and American businesses to improve energy efficiency while making our nation’s energy supplies go further than ever. In fact, nearly every energy-saving technology depends on innovations in chemistry.

It’s just one of the reasons we at ACC believe that encouraging the use of energy efficient technologies in the industrial, commercial and residential sectors should be a part of America’s comprehensive energy strategy.

We’ve seen the effect this can have on the domestic chemistry industry over the past 40 years, during which we successfully cut our own energy consumption in half.
